The days Robert had off he spent interviewing nannies, so many nannies applied for the job  Robert advertised but none of them was right to look after baby Alexander.
It was silly things like one would refuse to change a dirty nappy, another couldn't only look after him until a certain time and he felt like some need more experience on holding a baby without almost dropping him.

There was just one he liked, fitted with everything he needed but then when he nipped out to get something giving her a trail start, he was gone twenty minutes and when he got back It showed that she couldn't cope as she couldn't settle him he kept crying and crying and she was shouting at him telling him to shut up.

Great, he thought. As he settled Alex in his arms.

The next day he had no choice of taking the baby to work, as the alarms went off everyone had to go including Robert. He left Alex with Ben his Godfather.

Alex was not a happy little man that day, Robert didn't know what was up with him and neither did Ben. He had his feed and nappy change but the little guy still wasn't happy.

A young women came into the station

The young women; Hello I'm looking for Captain Pruitt Herrera

Ben; He's out on a call, you can stay or leave a message. Ben was trying everything to keep the baby happy but it wasn't happening.

The young women; I'll catch him at another time then

Ben; ok so you want me to tell him you were here

Young women; no it's fine. here let me hold him, she could see he was struggling with the baby

Ben didn't hesitate to pass the baby over, and as soon as he was in the arms of this woman the baby stopped he also brought a little bit more wind up which help the little one a bit.

Ben; how-- how did you do that he's been crying all day and I and his father didn't know what was wrong with him.

Young women; I've worked with a few babies, She laid the baby in her arms as he slowly closed his eyes going to sleep. She put him in the pram

Ben; so what's your name so I can tell captain Herrera you were asking for him

Young women; he'll know trust me. She said smiling and walking away.

Robert couldn't believe the silence around the station the baby had stopped crying

Robert, how did you do it, how did you shut the little guy up?

Ben; I didn't a young women came in the station looking for captain Pruitt and held him for a few minutes, he burped and then he stopped crying and fell asleep in her arms. You need this women Ben joke.

Robert; "What was her name did she leave a number".

Ben; I" don't know who it was but she was looking for Pruitt".

Ben went and Pruitt and told him about the young women that came in looking for him but Pruitt didn't want to know.

Ben; sir, she seems to like it was important.

A few days later the team were called to a house fire, the house was empty, well so they thought after they got the fire out they found a dead body

Jack; Sir there a body in here
The police now tape of the house this was now for forensic evidence and homicide detective.

As they were packing their things away  Ben saw the women again

Ben; "hey that's the women who came to the station the other day. " he watched as she hugged Pruitt and then started arguing with him.

The team went over to where Pruitt was.

Maya; We're all packed away sir.

Pruitt; took your time now let's get back to the station but before you all go I want you all to meet my daughter detective Andrea Herrera.

Andy; "please call me andy, I best go but it's good to see you all, I'll try and pop by the station after work"

She left to do her work. Andy became a detective following her dream that she wants to do since she was a child. It's always been her and her best friend Ryan.

For two years they moved to Miami but recently Andy came back something happened and she ran.

Later that night Andy went back to the station to visit her father. They were all in the Beanery ready to hand over the shift. All she heard was the baby crying. The team were happy to see her again. They all say talking but she couldn't help but watch Robert struggle with Alex while trying to eat.
Andy; here let me hold him while you eat.

He passed him over to and within a few minutes, the baby stopped crying.  She sat on a  chair with the baby laying on her chest, Robert went over to talk to her. 

Robert; how do you do that he laughs, I've been trying so hard to settle him but he refuses. Not even nannies can settle him

Andy; magic touch she smiled

Robert; he likes you, don't suppose you could look at him a few days a week.

He didn't think she was going to answer he got up and was about to walk away.

Andy; can I think about it, she hands him her phone getting him to put his number in her phone.

Robert; sure, think about it and let me know.

Andy passed the baby over saying bye to the team and her father and left.

Since she had been there her phone kept ringing and messages kept getting sent. But She didn't answer any of them and her father got concerned about who she was avoiding.
